Recipient of a 2022 Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) Social Welfare Policy in a Changing World is an approachable and student-friendly text that links policy and practice and employs a critical analytic lens to U.S. social welfare policy.

Shdaimah assess the impact of policies at the micro, meso, and macro levels.

Connecting description, theoretical analysis, and advocacy, this new text challenges readers to examine the development, consequences, and future implications of core policies. Students will come away with a newfound understanding of how to use the political process to address social justice issues and enact meaningful policy change.
